With the venerable Sir Peter Berner this show, then add one of the most respected comedy writers in the business (ask Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander) and the tsunami that is Jonas Holt and you better just buys some tickets.

PETER BERNER – A true MASTER of stand up Peter is without doubt one of Australia’s most popular and respected Stand-up Comedians. Hosted his own show on Triple M – ‘The Peter Berner Experiment’, and on TV – ‘Back Berner’ and The ‘Einstein Factor’.
